Jerry Seinfeld is the big star of the Meo Commedia a La Carte Fest, a comedy festival taking place in Portugal. The American comedian is considered the main attraction of the event.
However, Seinfeld's public positions on Palestine are causing controversy. Several artists have been dropping out of the festival lineup in protest against these statements.
Since the initial announcement of the festival, the situation has changed significantly. What seemed to be a settled event found itself threatened by a growing boycott from other comedians.
The controversy puts the continuity of the event at risk, potentially leaving Seinfeld alone with the audience, if the cancellations continue. The Morning Express analyzed the impact of this situation on the Portuguese festival.
